Hi
I have purchased a Defy+ battery for my Defy lately, unfortunately it did not work properly as my phone cannot correctly show the remaining battery.
I have been sweeping a couple of threads, looking for a solution. Among these threads, walter79's patch nearly works. After using the patch, my Defy can correctly show the battery level, just after rebooting. However, the battery level did not change afterwards. Is there any solution to that??
My green lens defy is currently running CM9.Thanks anyway.

Hey,
there is no topic where ROMs can be compared by their battery usage, so I decided to open such a topic.
It's hard to compare battery drain due to the diffrent usage of your phone so I thought about using an app and a easy to reconstructable environment.
I would prefer this app: Badass Battery Monitor.
Environment:
Min. 6 hours unplugged after full charge, unused (perhaps at night).
Wifi off
3G on
Just post your ROM and ur battery consumption per hour (please calc also with the minutes, to minimize the faults.
Incompatible with my device!

I have my own criteria to appreciate the battery consumption. When I go to sleep, I read the battery level %. In the morning I read it again. That way, I noticed no difference between ROMs (locked BL, only stock, always rooted, bloatware removed, five ROMs tried until now, *.58 for the moment): around 3-5% per night. Always I administrate the radios manually.
Plus, *.58 version comes with a new stock app, called `Power Save mode`, with interesting options.
Was just an idea yet.
But 1%/h is a great performance...
If there are some more values, I'll make a list
Tried do flash blend kernel, didn't boot... how did u get that working? I also have GWK74 and latest Blend-kernel, but stuck at bootloader image....
Well, I'm still amazed too.
The only downside is that I feel like my battery is draining faster when I'm using my phone. So I should probably keep the tweaks for the deep sleep state and flash another kernel again.
I think your idea is great, I'm constantly searching for the best battery saving ROM and kernel.

my battery drains from 55% to 50% in a sec.. any idea why is that problem?
i've already done the battery calibration and the problem is still here..

but it was in a rasting state.. none of the apps have ran...
I have the same problem, mine is 30% to 19% it happens to me twice within a minute
sorry for my english
Did you try calibrate the battery once??
yes..
Battery drop/ not chargeable to 100% seems to be the only problem to Defy plus
I'm wondering if I should just buy a normal defy battery for my Defy+. No more need for battery fix

Download Battery calibration from the play store, charge your phone till 100% and then calibrate the batterty. The app erases the battery history (which is false and is the reason for such drops). And from there the history file is brand new and the drops will be over

This is an old problem with Defy battery and I was experiencing it some 10 months ago..
I tried all the tricks in the book and nothing solves it; I always (90% of the time) see a drop from 56% yo 49% (and sometimes another one around 25% to 21%).
At least three people (one being Walter79) said that it is a hardware issue and that they've fixed that with a new battery.
SOLVED by somehow managing to get into recovery with 1% battery and flashing Red Lens Battery Fix
found under "Flashing Instructions" here (Like an idiot I didn't check.
------------------------
OP:
I recently changed from Epsylon3's 14 July build to Quarx's latest and my battery is showing 100% constantly.
When on charge it still shows 100%, and last night it showed 40 then dropped to 10 and wouldn't charge.
Overnight it charged to 100% though and hasn't changed.
I've tried wiping battery stats and cache/dalvik but no change.

You must consider your self lucky! People make threads complaining that they don't get 100% battery stat ever. Your case is reverse.
Jokes apart, try caliberating and see.
S3nt fr0m my D3fy/w1u1 GB st4BL3
may be a victim of battery problem, may be battery has gone old and cannot hold charge
My battery has been completely fine until I flashed. Battery calibration doesn't do anything. There was a news post about it. All the battery stats hold is how much battery is use by apps (shown above).
I'm more concerned that I could have 20% and it shows 100 and my phone dies when I need it!

Seems to have resolved itself. I tested App2Zip from play market and now my phone is showing 50%. Disregard this topic now. Thanks
Edit: doesn't seem to be going below 50. Seems frozen unless I reboot?

Perhaps it's Quarx's build? I wonder if anyone else has this problem.
Don't let your phone die. Mine just did and now won't boot :|

Same problem here,

thanks a lot!
Hi, I need a new battery as mine is worn, I need to know if I buy a higher capacity battery (ie mugen or defy + battery, not fakes) on my green lense defy will it cause me issues? If I flash a defy + rom I lose camera as I am green, so can I safely use a higher capacity battery and still get a full charge out of it?

It should work if you flash battery fix in froyo kernel ROMs

Which battery fix? Is there one for the mugen battery? I think its 1800mah

If the mugen is for MB525 then you need no fix.
For the Defy+ battery, I think you need to flash the battery fix that was going around in the Epsy CM threat (as he has no Defy+, he used the Defy batt and the Defy+ users had to flash a fix.)

Yes, so even though its a bigger capacity it will read right?

I won't vow but I thought the Defy+ battery works with the battery fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
There were some that tried. It somewhere in the Q&A
The mugen 1700mah will work. It is a 3.7 lithium ion battery. Same as the MB525 (BF5X) one.
The one from the MB526 (HF5X) is a 3.8 lithium ion polymer battery.
The 'replacement' battery's from ebay with stated to work with Defy+ are all for Defy so a nogo for the Defy+ users.
I have just bought a Defy+ battery for my Defy (green lens). The problem is that you never know how much battery is left. It goes from 100% to 1% in a few hours and stays in that 1% until it is fully drained (10 hours or more).
For what I have read it is impossible to have green lens camera and the Defy+ battery working at the same time:
- If you use froyo kernel camera will work but the battery won't.
- If you use gingerbread kernel it will be the other way round.
So for now I prefer a working camera without knowing how much battery is left.
The only silver lining I have found is in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627631). It is for the photon 4g but it might be possible to make it work in our Defy.
Weren't there defy+ users on froyo kernel? (By flashing the bl5 eclair or BL6 froyo)
Are you sure you have the right battd and lib?
But I don't know for sure of course because I don't own a defy+ nor battery.

I don't see why a Defy+ user would have a Froyo kernel, neither the camera nor the battery will work.
I have tried another battd/libbattd but it gives a question mark inside the battery meter.

Sucks.
Camera does work AFAIK.
They did it when CM9 began and epsy did a couple of defy only roms and some defy+ users couldn't wait.
And they can return to GB kernel just by flashing it in recovery.
Could be the battery doesn't work on froyo kernel. Sucks a bit for Green lens defy users.

There is no real fix for battery on red lens defy+. It might show you full charge but it will never go more than 4.15V and it used to be 4.35V in stock rom.
Hello,
I will be very soon ..
I wonder if the bug has the correct battery in Defy leaping from 50-18% and other things ...
I've read reports of users who have managed ..
I'm using version 4.1.2 put the battery jumps of 20% or more .. ) ':
I know this is an old subject, but would like to know if you have solution before buying another battery.
Thank you and I thank you
PS: Sorry for the english .. Google Translator. (Brazil)
It's usually battery's worn out, you just need to replace by a new one.
Mine jumped at most 50% before replacing it with Momax 1500mAh.

But my Defy has less than 1 year, as the battery can already spent?
Sera those files batt patch. not solve? :/
Try using another rom, I suggest stable one like cm7.2 or ms2ginger. If problem consist, it's real.
li-ion batteries are not just worn by date, if you dry off your battery so often (let it reach 0-1% til phone shut itself.) this also affect battery life greatly (and should be avoided, charge often instead.)

And no defy mb525 can be created least than one year, at least 1.5 year the newest. Since they stop mb525 line and rebrand it into mb526, right?
So your batt is older than you think, my guess.
